Thibaut 'Chilavert' Courtois

[stroey 2,525]

‘The manager and Christophe [Lollichon, the goalkeeping coach] asked me to shoot one in the first five and I said if there’s a space open I would do it. Five people stepped up so it was no problem but I said if we needed one more to win I would take it. So I think I would have taken the sixth penalty if we had a chance to win it then.’

He nailed that penalty like it was De Bruyne's bird.

LMAO. POST OF THE SEASON!

[Tomo 21,733]

I was jawdropping when he took the penalty and burst the net with his rocket kick, and two saves he made make it's clear He is still our no.1 GK

There was never any doubt about it.

Watching that penalty...

[NishC300 1,865]

The sort of penalty Frank Lampard would have been proud to take!

[laeth 527]

He literally took it like a goal kick. Amazing. Haha.

When taking a pen, stick to what you know best.

Not sure Sirigu could have saved it if he'd been standing on his right hand post.

Even if he raised his gloves it would have burned a hole through them!

[Bacika 188]

How was his performance? I just saw highlights, and did not see much of it..

[DYC. 7,542]

In my mind, he's already added another dimension to his game. I never knew he was so good at dealing with PKs. He goes to the right corners most of the time, gets down very quick (extremely quick for a guy his size). His size and presence seems to intimidate the players as well.

Tibo is starting to grow on me.

Not sure if this will pop up right but this was his penalty from my view in the stadium.

Class.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He is so bad with ball at his feet...

I think he is actually quite good technically with the ball at his feet for a GK, it's just his decision making that lets him down. I would say that at times he tries to do too much with the ball and gets himself into strife. There are times when most GKs would just smash the ball out of the area, but Thibaut sometimes tries to be too cute and gets his feet tangled. Hull away earlier this year comes to mind.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

so far it's easy to see his one weakness that he has and most of the goals he concedes is when he has to dive to his right hand side of the goal.

[yuvala 2,167]

Was superb yesterday, nothing he could have done about that goal.
